the use Of silver and gold IS the basis Of onT
currency This statement appears in "A
speech printed in the PiGagt8ae Of Nov, a.
The speech itBelf, was reported in shorthand
by the stenographer OF thereforn caHapaign,
aud in all probability was submitted to the
honorable Senator for revision, SO there is
no reason to doubt the genulneness Of the

WOULD WE RETURN ?

Would we return
II once the gates which close upon the past
Were opened wide for us and if the dear
Remembered pathway stretched before us
clear
To lead us back to youths lost land atlast,
Whereon life's April shadows lightly cast
Recalled the old sweet days of childish fear
With all their faded hopes and brought
anear
The far-off streams in which our skies were
glassed
Did these lost dreams which wake the souls
sad yearning
But live once more and waited our return
ing,
Would we returnl
Would we return
If loves enchantment held the heart no
more
And we had come to count the wild sweet
pain,
The fond distress, the lavish tears-but vain i;
Had cooled the hearts hot wounds amidst
the roar
Ofmountain gales, or, on some alien shore
Worn out the souls long anguish and had
slain
At last the dragon of despair-if then the
train
OF vanished years came back, and, as of
yore,
The same voice called, and with soft eyes be-
guiling,
Our lost love beckoned, through times gray
veil smiling,
Would we returnl
Would we return
once we had crossed to deaths unlovely
land
And trod the bloomless ways among the
dead
Lone and unhappy; after years had fed
With twilight wings along that glimmer-
ing strand,
II then-an angel came with outstretched
hand
To lead us back, and we recalled in dread
How soon the tears that once for us are shed
May flow for others-how like words in
sand
Our memory fades away-how oft our walk
ing
Might vex the living with the dead hearts
breaking,
Would we return
Would we returnl

The Color of Birds, Eggs.

Many birds make their nests in lofty
trees or on the edges precipitous cliffs.
of these, the eagles, vultures, and crows
are conspicuous examples. They are,
for the most part, too powerful to be
afraid of the marauding magpie, and
only fear the attacks of beasts of prey,
among whom they doubtless classify the
human race. They rely for the safety of
their eggs on the inaccessible positions
of the nest. Many of them also belong
to still larger group of birds who rely
for the safety of their eggs upon their
own ability, either singly, in pairs, or in
colonies, to defend them against all ag-
gressors. Few colonies of birds are more
interesting than those of herons, cormor-
rants, and their respective allies. These
birds lay white or nearly white eggs.
Nature, with her customary thrift, has
lavished no color upon them because.
apparently, it would have been wasted
effort to do so; but the eggs of the gull
lemot are remarkable exception TO this
rule. Few eggs are more gorgeously
colored, and no eggs exhibit such a va
riety of color. 1t is impossible to sup
pose that protective selection can have
produced coloTs so conspicuous on the
white edges OF the chalk clitfs; and sex
ual selection must have been equally
pOwerless. 1t would be too ludicrous
suggestion to suppose that a cock guile.
mot fell in love with plain colored hen
because he remembered that last season
she laid a gay-colored egg. 1t cannot
be accident that causes the guillemOt's
eggs TO be so handsome and 50 varied.
In the case of birds breeding in holes sc
cure from the prying eyes of the maraud-
ing magpie, no color is wasted where it
is not wanted.
The more deeply nature is studied, the
more certain seems to be the conclusion
that all her endless variety is the result
of evolution. 1t seems also TO be more
and more certain that natural selection
is not the cause of evolution but only
its guide Variation is the cause Of eyo-
luton, but the cause of variation is un-
known-Nature.

A Snail Race.

I'm told that foolish Frenchman, as
new amusement for his idleness. has
invented the sport Of snail racing, The
course S long. smooth board, at the
end OF which is "a lighted candle When
the room is darkened the snails natur-
ally begin to creep along the board
toward the flame. To make the race
more interest ng various obstacles are
placed across the board, and the fastest
snails, so 10 speak, are burdened with
pellets of clay. This sort of thing may
do to amuse a Frenchman whose time
hangs heavy on his hands, but the best
excuse for it that I've heard is a verse
supposed TO come from the snails them
selves. Here il is
Our motto is "Festina lente,n
And it's better than ten out Of twenty:
For the later you start and the slower you
60,
The sooner Youll learn who is beaten, you
know

Coal in the Metronnlis.

Oscar w. Riggs says in the New York
Mail and Express: Nearly all the coal
brought to New York comes in canal
boats carrying 100 tons, or in cars from
fifteen to twenty tons. This coal is not
delivered in New York except to retail
ers. The railroad cars and canal boats
are first unloaded at some one of the
numerous coal depOts on the New Jer ey
shore. 1t is sent over to the city in canal
boats as rule, though to some extent in
cars. Some of the retailers do very ex-
tensive business having from ten to
twenty different offices. There are many
brokers who, while ostensibly dealers
themselves, are really supplied from re-
tailers, from whom they receive a COM
mission. The poor in tenements, having
no place IN which to store coal, are
obliged to buy it by the pail, and are
thus forced forced to pay about double
the usual price by the ton. Cheap flats
and some of the tenements are supplied
IN cloth bags holding 100 pounds;
these bags obviate the spnnk ing Of
coal dust on the stairs and in
the rooms. and are really a useful in
ventiOn; the quantity of coal they con-
tain usually costs about thirty cents, but
this price was doubled recently by reason
0f the scarcity. The companies in the
Pennsylvania coal combination produce
IN the aggregate -, 600 0U0 tons annu-
ally. New York, Philadelphia aud
Boston are the great coal markets. Phila-
delphia, though nearer the coal fields.
has at times had TO pay quite higher
prices than the other two cities, the tax
thus levied on Is citizens by the corpora
tions which they themselves created
amounting in one year, it is estimated,
10 s., go, OOO This resulted from the
lower rates of freight granted TO the
more distant marker. An inquiry two
years ago showed that Philadelphia, at
a distance of only ninety miles from the
coal fields, paid retail price of So 80
per ton; New York, 1870 miles away, paid
only S.. 80 Baltimore, lSS miles distant,
paid So, and Boston, still stranger TO
say, though 354 miles away paid only
50. "a per ton.

Irrigation has come into extensive use
in Colorado. Ex-Governor Routt, OF
that State, says the people are now using
about all the water they can find in that
way. s'From the north line of our State
to Pueblo all the water coming from the
Eastern slope of the mountains is now
utilized for irrigation. Not much has
yet been taken from the Arkansas river.
Preparations are being made to use its
waters, however, and large area will be
added thereby to the arabic district of
tho State. do not believe irrigation
by artesian wells practicable.

Yes, beds for all who come.
